چکیده

Using standard WHO methodology, this study investigated the susceptibility of 4th instar Aedes aegypti (L) and Culex annulirostris (Skuse) larvae to three extracts from Callitris glaucophylla (J. Thompson & L. Johnson) (1: steam distillation extract, 2: liquefied refrigerant gas extract, and 3: methanol reflux extract), lambda-cyhalothrin (a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide) and fenitrothion (an organophosphorous insecticide). Cx. annulirostris was significantly more susceptible than Ae. aegypti to all tested chemicals except lambda-cyhalothrin. Responses to the three C. glaucophylla extracts were exceptional for a botanical compound: Cx. annulirostris (LC50 = 0.23, 9.53 and 38.95 mg/L) and Ae. aegypti (LC50 = 0.69, 5.21 and 306.43 mg/L). Both Cx. annulirostris and Ae. aegypti larvae were significantly more susceptible to lambda-cyhalothrin (LC50 = 0.00013 and 0.00016 mg/L) than fenitrothion (LC50 = 0.0009 and 0.004 mg/L). As expected, the pyrethroid and organophosphorous insecticides were far more potent than the crude C. glaucophylla extracts. The steam distilled extract was fractionated and the major components guaiol and citronellic acid were identified and tested. Activities for these major components were lower than observed for the distillate. Minor components include lactones such as eldanolide, and future testing of minor components may indicate the active component.

Synergistic efficacy of botanical blends with and without synthetic insecticides against Aedes aegypti and Culex annulirostris mosquitoes.

Increasing insecticide resistance requires strategies to prolong the use of highly effective vector control compounds. The use of combinations of insecticides with other insecticides and phytochemicals is one such strategy that is suitable for mosquito control. In bioassays with Aedes aegypti and Culex annulirostris mosquitoes, binary mixtures of phytochemicals with or without synthetic insecti...

Effects of sub-lethal concentrations of synthetic insecticides and Callitris glaucophylla extracts on the development of Aedes aegypti.

Synthetic and botanical insecticides can have a profound effect on the developmental period, growth, adult emergence, fecundity, fertility, and egg hatch, resulting in effective control at sub-lethal concentrations. This paper investigated sub-lethal concentrations of fenitrothion, lambda-cyhalothrin, and Callitris glaucophylla Joy Thomps. & L.P. Johnson (Cupressaceae) extract to characterize t...

A mosquito predator survey in Townsville, Australia, and an assessment of Diplonychus sp. and Anisops sp. predatorial capacity against Culex annulirostris mosquito immatures.

A twelve-month survey for mosquito predators was conducted in Townsville, Queensland, Australia, which is located in the arid tropics. The survey revealed the presence of five predaceous insects but only Anisops sp. (backswimmers) and Diplonychus sp. were common. Predatorial capacity and factors influencing this capacity were then assessed for adult Anisops sp. and adult and nymph stages of Dip...
